Recently I’ve discovered that it’s possible to add safe control entries through elements.xml file. To do this, add an elements.xml file (or use an existing xml file). Then select the elements.xml file and open the properties window as shown below:

Then click the ... button next to (Safe Control Entries) as shown in the above image. Then in the safe control entries dialog click ‘Add’ and edit the namespace as shown below:

Finally, add the element xml file to a web/site scoped feature. As you will deploy the WSP, the safe control entry will be added in web.config file.
